Q36 of 118 Page 352

Find the fundamental, first overtone and second overtone frequencies of an open organ pipe of length 20 cm. Speed of sound in air is 340 m s-1.

Given:
Speed of sound in air
v = 340 m/sec



Length of open organ pipe
L = 20 cm = 20 × 10−2 m


Fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe:



First overtone frequency :



Second overtone frequency :

Figure (16-E7) shows two coherent sources S1 and S2 which emit sound of wavelength λ in phase. The separation between the sources is 3λ. A circular wire of large radius is placed in such a way that S1S2 lies in its plane and the middle point of S1S2 is at the centre of the wire. Find the angular positions θ on the wire for which constructive takes place.


35

Two sources of sound S1 and S2 vibrate at same frequency and are in phase (figure 16-E8). The intensity of sound detected at a point P as shown in the figure is I0. (a) If θ equals 45°, what will be the intensity of sound detected at this point if one of the Sources is switched off? (b) What will be the answer of the previous part if θ = 60o?

A closed organ pipe can vibrate at a minimum frequency of 500 Hz. Find the length of the tube. Speed of sound in air = 340 ms-1.

38

In a standing wave pattern in a vibrating air column, nodes are formed at a distance of 4.0 cm. If the speed of sound in air is 328 m s-1, what is the frequency of the source?
